we have a local official here who is off balance and IMHO should not be working around anyone under the age of 50. Hes says inapproriate things to teens and it is obvious that he is even flirting. He is well over 35 if not 40. Some assignors dont use him because they dont say it directly but everyone knows about it. I dont work with him and have him blacklisted and if I ever have a game with him I turn them back. The fact of the matter remains is that our job is borderline heaven for a pedophile and there isn't much that can be done about that. Unless they have been caught in the past there is nothing stopping them from continually working but I think that many conincedences do add up to something.

Background Checks
Our local High school Association doesn't. But ASA softball is now.
We had a VB official get suspended for weird behavior, but they allowed him to do BB, but only boys.....Same Assignor for both sports.... I have heard plenty of conversations that I thought were over the line. I just skeedaddle to the other side of the court. IMHO some officials are Too friendly with the participants. Saturday saw a ref swat a boy on the a$$ telling him "Nice Hustle". I dunno bout that...... I help out with a Junior College Woman's tennis team and my friends always have comments but I pretty much let them know not to go there. I won't bore you with that particular spiel but I get my point across effectively.... |

I know that this is a seriuos issue. with issue popping up all over the country. There hasn't been any statment from the officials side. This is why I get in do the game and get out not contact and no communication with anyone. Who knows what transpired prior to that event. The girl may have it in for the official for a game he did week prior or months prior. This is sad!!!

Me: Tweet. "Blue 21, that's a push." Blue 21: "Hey, he raped me." It's not impossible, of course, for unfounded accusations to be reported, but most reporters (and all prosecutors) are aware of their obligation to have some evidence beyond mere say-so. We have libel and slander laws in this country for a reason. This one won't keep me up at night.

I have heard of such a thing as a foot fetish, although it seems pretty silly to me. |

Apparently, this guy had been previously arrested for similar behavior. From: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/lo...,3460819.story
